If the browser tries to connet to abc.mydomain.com:443 which translates
to an ip:443 it expects the server to present a certificate matching
abc.mydomain.com.

This all takes place before the browser sends the HTTP request
containing the requested hostname, so no.

If you want to use SSL then you need an unique ip:port per certificate
you want to present. If the browser thinks it is connecting to one host
and is presented a certificate not matching the requested host it will
complain about certificate mismatch.
